Following the Quebec Conference,
President Roosevelt was the Guest of
Canada at a Banquet in Ottawa at
which Prime Minister MacKenzie
King was host and Their Excellencies
the Governor-General and _ his wife,
Princess Alice were prominent guests.
A large number of the Members had
gathered at the Capital in honor of the
President’s visit, and the crowd of Ot-
awa citizens which gathered on Parlia-
ment Hill equalled the thousands gath-
ered on the visit of King George and
Queen Elizabeth.

President Roosevelt’s address rang
with the note of confidence, and the
determinations of the Allies to hasten
a successful conclusion to the war
and restore the world to a just Peace
and the Four Freedoms. He received
a tremendous ovation.

President Roosevelt paid a high tri-
bute to Premier King in the large and
important part he had played in pav-
ing the path for the momentous delib-
erations between the United States
and Britian.

Holding the Conference in Quebec
was an important diplomatic move, as
well as adding prestige and lustre to
the position of Canada in World Af-
fairs.

— -oO——
The regular meeting of the W. I.

was held at the home of Miss Elaine
Sarsons on Aug. 19th. In the absence
of Mrs. Morton, the meeting was called
to order by Mrs. Brook.

Roll call was current events and was
well responded to.

Mrs. Patrick of Strathmore read a
paradox on the last war ,entitled “Lift
up your hearts” which was \very much
enjoyed.

Mrs. Ellen Way answered roll call
by reading an article on compressed
food, also on canning fruit without
sugar. With sugar rationing this prov
ed quite helpful and interesting. We
were pleased to welcome Mrs. Way as
a member again at this meeting.

We wish to thank Mrs. George Daw-
son of Strathmore, for money dona-
tion. Mrs. Dawson has proved quite
a friend of our Institute, as she has
given donations several times since we
organized, which were very much ap-
preciated.

A handkerchief sale was held at this
meeting. Mrs. Leonard Hilton made
quite a capable auctioneer.The Hand-
kerchiefs sold like hot cakes and net-
ted the treasury the sum of $5.43.

Members were asked to bring sug-
gestions for the bazaar to the next
meeting. At the close of the meeting
a dainty lunch was served by the host-
ess, assisted by Mrs. Barney Hughes.

The next meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. Shkuratoff on Sept 2nd.

Roll call will be “Truth or Conse-
quences” and current events.

ing livestock and crops.

Some hunters, with small stocks of
ammunition held over from past years,
will be able to spend a day or two at
their favorite sport. The migatory
bird regulations show little change
from last year.

There is no open season in Alberta
for Ross’ goose, a species which mi-
grates through this province and is
seriously depleted in numbers.

OCCUPATION OF
KISKA ISLAND

From radio and newspaper articles
we learn that the 24th. Field Regt,
which includes a number of our local
boys, formed a_ part of the invasion
army that occupied Kiska, August 15.
That it was a bloodless occupation is
all the more gratlfying. We would be
glad had this same been true in Sicily.

It is evident that the Japs had made
a hasty get-a-way.

The heavy bombardments carried on
by our ships and planes, these bom-
bardments unreported in the last three
weeks and among the heaviest ever
made on enemy positions in the Pac-
ific, made the enemy position unten-
able by them.

The report states Kiska’s fall could
rate as one of Japan’s more expensive
defeats both in supplies and in loss of
29 Japanese Warships and 30 non-com-
battent vessels. In the Attu attack
they had fought almost to the last
man.

Fleeing as they did from Kiska, it
would seem proof of the growing lack
of confidence of the Japanese.

Four of Strathmore’s local boys
formed a part of the 24th. Field Regt.

Vice-Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid
Commander of the U. S. North Pacific
Fleet was in command, while the 24th.
Field Regt. was commanded by Gener-
al Drummond.

——O—e
Today, as men and wornen give

thought to the victorious peace im-
pending, the problems of the post-war
world loom closer. Problems of re-es-
tablishment, of re-adjustment, of re-
habilitation and reconstruction must
be attacked now—and solutions must
be found hefore one million Canadians
are thrown on the labor marke:

In Alberta, a start has been made
on this great work of preparing for
peace. Through legislative enactment
$1,000,000 has been set aside as the
nucleus of a post-war reconstruction
fund. A committee has been estabish-
ed and sub-committees appointed. The
technical aid of all departments of
government and the university has
been enlisted. There remains but one
requirement to make this a unified
effort — that is the co-opeiation of
every Alberta citizen.

Interpendence of Farmers

Interesting booklet published by the
Farm and Ranch Review well worth
reading. The price only 10c.

“Real prosperity for Canada lies in
a higher national income more evenly
distributed between farm and factory
workers rather than in higher wage
rates in a few industrfes, according to
a booklet just published by the Farm
and Ranch Review of Calgary, Alta.

As the title “Maggie Abandons big
Dough’ ‘implies, there is nothing aca-
demic about this little treatise by Ed-
ward Highe. It is brightly written
and cleverly illurtrated. The charac-
ters are human and alive and the dia
logue is homely and to the point. It
deals with some of the most important
economic problems of the day - the
relation between farm and _ factory
workers, wages and prices - in terms
that anyone can understand.

Canadian labour can solve one of
the Canadian farmer’s chief problems
and increase the purchasing power ol
the farmer’s dollar, it is contented. As
long as the farmers’ share in the na-
tional income low and the cost of
manufactured goods is high Canada
will not have real prosperity. How
Maggie, the principal character in
this story, thinks things through is ot
direct interest to all classes of Cana-
dians.”

@ More Barbed Wire—

Quotas for the manufacture of barb-
ed wire have been increased to the ex-
tent that some 86,000 more reels of the
wire fill be available this year, mostly
for farm purposes. This has been
made possible the fact that more
material is now available to manufac:
turers. Demand for barbed wire has
increased considerably due to increase
in livestock production.

These are crowded days for the wife

Mrs. Churchill has just shown that she
can make time give the personal
touch to the small things.

Two West Riding boys aged eight,
recently organized a concert and rais-
ed 3s. 2d. They persuaded someone
to send this off to Mrs. Churchill’s
Aid to Russia Fund, and promptly
came an acknowledgement — not the
customary formal acknowledgement,
but a personal letter from Mrs. Church
hill expressing her warm appreciation
of their little effort.

There is the human touch which Mr.
Churchill himself so often shows.

How The Cost of Living Index Works

By Jim Greenblat
= Qa

In the House of Commons, July 7th,

the Honorable J. L. Ilsley,
Minister of Finance, gave some

index, particularly
light
prices. Jim Greenblat gives the
of Mr. Ilsley’s remarks,
cal language, as follows—

of
gist

“The cost of living index as related
to the cost
directly worry the farmer, small pro-}
prietor and such like, but indirectly
everyone should have the low down in
their minds about this important part
of our national economy if they don’t
wish to get too provincial in their
thinking.

Let’s review
go you'll remember it without any ef
fort. The cost of living index measur
es the month-to-month change in the
cost of living of the average typical
wage-earner’s family, by the Bureau
of Statistics. It is based on a full
year record, made in 1937-38 on 1,500
Canadian families, averaging 4.6 per-
sons with an average income of $1,458
The index was in six main groups,
showing food to take 31% of the in-
come, fuel and light 6%, housing 19%,
clothing 12%,
services 9% and miscétfaneous

| ample, after sugar rationing came in,
the amount of sugar in the index was
reduced. Then, when cheap lines are
off the market making you fork over
more for more expensive articles, the
price of these is considered in the in-

The index records variations in the
cost of a fixed standard of living in ur-

| their standard of living.

Not without logic, some people ask
| why does the index only show a rise of
17% during the war, when such items
as stewing beef rocketed up 78%, lard
73% for example. The fact of the
matter is, of course, that all foods
comprise less than a third of the whole
cost of living index and we have to
look at it in that perpective. Many
foods, too, and important ones, have
risen much less. For instance, bread
sugar and such foods have remained
fairly steady and milk is reduced in
price.

Food Prices Up—

It is interesting to note in passing
that cost of food rose 31.8 since the
war started, most of it since the ceil-
ing was slapped on. Mrs. Housewife
obviously is more aware of this, be-
cause its’ a kitchen and personal prob-
lem. But on items hubby pays for
mainly, the rise shows in the lower
bracket, i.e. fuel and light, 14.1, hous-

It does not measure the| Questions of Quality—

Mom complains about changes in
quality, deterioration of clothing and
home furnishings, noticeable in our
wartime economy. Well, the Bureau
thinks of that too and treats the re-
duction in quality as if it was a price
increase of the same amouat.

You can see for yourself that they
can’t get direct price quotations on
every item in the family budget, but
what they do is get typical, and weight
those prices sufficiently to cover all
items in any group.

To get a slant on the problems, let’s
look at foods. Many foods have a
wide seasonal price fluctuation as you
know. Then again, all vegetables
aren’t sold on a weight basis. Some
are sold in bunches, and so the price
may vary according to the quantity. If
some ‘average’ system wasn't adopted
the index would certainly be “less”
than ‘more’ accurate. What they do
is pick representative prices month-
to-month, which includes some 44 food
items amounting to just about 75% of
the total cost of food.

How Much for a Hat?—
Well, now we come to such items as

clothing. This brings up another
difficult problem and no fooling, it’s
an erratic thing. You know what it’s
like yourself. You've gone in and
bought a ladies’ hat for say $4.95.
Sure enough, a month later (to save
carrying it over into the winter) you

see it advertised to clear at $2.98. It
does happen with dresses, coats and
other items. Therefore, the Bureau,
and rightly, has selected a smaller list
of some 29 clothing items of fairly
standard construction which have no
pronounced seasonal movements, The
items represent al the more important
materials in making clothing, such as
cotton, wool, rayon, rubber and leather

Just one more thing. Income taxes
are not included in the reckoning of
the cost of living index. These taxes
do not affect prices, although they do,
of course, reduce the amount available
for spending. The whole idea of hav:
ing an income tax is so that everyone
can contribute to the cost of the war

A farmers are debating a revolution-
ary idea. The new proposal has the
general approval of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Edward H.
Faulkner, and Ohioan who enjoys ex-

perimenting, has recently published a}

report, “Plowman’s Folly.” His the-
sis is that the plow is an enemy of the
farmer,

His report is based on experiments
which he has conducted and which
tend to prove that harrowing the stub-
ble, weeds, and general debris into the
top two or three inches of soil produc-
es a richer better seed bed. He holds
that discarding the traditicnal mold-
board plow will result in larger yieids.

leading soil expert, Conservation Di- |

rector Hugh H. Bennett, agrees with
Faulkner and points out that forward-
looking big farmers interests and
sugar growers have long used a_ sys-
tem similar to Faulkner’s.

It is a fact, despite modern ways,
our yield per acre is less than in many
other countries. In the last half cent-
ury soil erosion and fertility exhaus-
tion have become a_ serious problem.
If the farmer works with Nature’s
laws instead of against them, he will

Address By Walter P. Zeller

HIS address by Mr. Zeller, promin-
T ent Canadian Business man given
at the C. W. N. A. Convention in Tor-
onto, has been widely quoied. Fol-
lowing are the closing parapraphs,

“In conclusion, let me suggest that
when the war is won, Government,
business and labor alike will be taced

with the joint task of putting the na-|

tional house in order, which will call
for all the energy and resource, all
the comradeship and loyalty in the
nation. The more Government desires
the co-operation of the various ele-
ments within society to work together
with it for the common good, the great
er its need to consult with those ele-
ments—be they business, labor educa-
tional, or any other, on whose know-
ledge and experience it may profitably
draw in framing our post-war national
policies and whose support it will
need to implement such policies. Ina
democracy, reconstruction will be suc-
cessful in proportion to the degree to
which it is a truly people’s job.

But let me again observe that free-
dom implies responsibility. The
greater the freedom afforded private
enterprise after the war, the greater
the responsibility which devolves upon
it to “deliver the goods”. An age of
new and rapid expansion is not a time
for timid hearts and little minds. Af-
ter the war, business will require all
the vision and courage that marked
the great ages of the world’s progress,
if we are to add another epoch to the
history of human advancement. This

(CHAPTER No. 2)
—_——_Oo-———

There is sure a change in Calgary
to what there was a couple of years
ago when I came up to see the Stam-
pede and I notice it as soon as I’m out
of the rattler.

The place is just over-run with
soldiers, sailors and airmen. They’re
everywhere and seem to be having a
mighty fine time.

I see a soldier with three stripes on

his arm and ask him where a _ fellow
goes to join up in this man’s army.

“Cowboy,” he says, “You can’t m.ss.
Just a block north and you can figure
you're as good as in.”

Well, I go down to the building with
a big sign “Recruiting Depot” over the
door and climb up three flights of
stairs to the office.

Right off a fellow says, “What can I
do for you?” so I tell him I figure on
joining the army.

He smiles and starts asking a lot of
questions about me and when he gets
done he tells me to sit on a long bench
where o lot of othere fellows are park-
ed.

I sit down and roll

ing, bud?”

“The Army,” I tell him.

“Aren't W all,’ he grins. What I
mean is what branch of the service?
I want to get in artillery.”

I tell him I hadn't rightly thought
about that angle, ask him what
branches there are.

It's All Dutch—

He spiels off a long list of initials——
R.C. A, R.C.0O.C.,, R.C, A.M. C,,
R.c. A. S.C. C.D. C., and a heap of
others I cant’ remember.

“Slow down, chum,” | reply.
alright to be coming up with ali those
but it’s just like trying to indentify
ranches by brands when you never
heard the name of the spreads.”

Well, this little guy seems to know
quite a bit. He tells me its because
he has three brothers serving in the
Army, and he explains all about the
different places they can put a man.

It’s

“T didn’t tell you about the infantry
before,” he continues. “Those are the
foot-soldiers but they don’t march like
they used to in the last war. There
are plenty of trucks and they move
you right up to where you can mix it
with the enemy.”

He goes on to say that the infantry
are the boys who can _ get to close

He sure is a sad lad but he smiles as

“I'll be trying again soon and maybe

I'll catch to

| Well, I sit around for a few minutes
then a corporal comes along and he
| takes me into the office of the Recruit-
jing Officer, Major Gainor.

He swears me in and I’m telling you
I feel pretty solomn when I take the
oath to serve my King and Country.

Right after that I’m hustled off to
Mewata Barracks where I answer plen-
ty more questions,

Fromthere its over to a_ hut they
call the Quartermaster Stores where
they start handing out equipment.

Brother, I've never had so much
clothing in my life, and the pile keeps
on growing. Uniforms, shirts, boots,
oxfords, underwear, brushes, a set of
eating tools, a ground sheet, blankets,
respirator (I up and call it a gas mask
and promptly get informed that isn’t |
the correct term), a gas cape and lots
of other articles are piled up.

bunk down. Looking at it all I figure!
I'd be better off with a buckboard and |
a team but finally get our arms |
full. and away we go.
It’s a Big Bunk House—

gest bunk house I've run into for quite |
a spell. All double deck bunks and |

'

There are plenty of fellows there
just like myself and plenty of them
are just getting into their new uni-

forms. After I get my kit all piled up
on a bed I figure I might as well get
into my duds too.

I’m just getting all set when the
fellow in the next bunk looks me over
and says, “You got a pretty swell fit
there pal.”

I’ve got to admit he’s right, becalfse
you'd thing a tailor had just siream-
lined the whole outfit and poured me
into it.

“you sure make that saying of all
Army clothes being too big or too
small sound awful wrong,” the strang-
er continues,

Then he hoists himself up from his
bunk and reaches out with his hand.

“We're probably going to be togeth.
er quite a spell,” he says, “so we may
as well get acquainted. I’m Tom Gil-
bert from Irricana.

I shake hands with him

We follow the crowd over to the
place they call the mess hut and there
{'m in for another surprise.

It’s a mighty big place, as clean as
a-pin and there are several hundred
fellows all sitting down to a meal that
would really make our old Chinese
cook, Yee Fong, work his darndest.
We Can Go Out—

After we've eaten we wander back
to our hut and the corporal who is in
charge says we can have passes to go
out and see the town if we want to.

Tom says it sounds like a good idea
and asks me if I want to come along,
so I says yes.

After we get out o f the barracks
Tom suddenly asks me if I know how
to salute and I have the opine that I've
got a general idea,

says. “Let’s duck in this alley and
try it out a few times because we
might be meeting some officers and
to look bad for a start.”

Well, we do just that. Tom tries a
few salutes ‘til I figure he’s got it
down pretty well then I do a little
practicing.

From there we wander off down the
drag and sure Gnough we meet plenty
of officers.

I’m sure glad we did that little bit of
practicing because as Itell Tom after
were bac’k in barracks, I'll bet there
wasn't an officer who we met who
would believe we’d only been in the
army a couple of hours.

That is if they didn’t get close en-

WORLD OF WHEAT

(By H. G L. Strange)
Director— The Crop Testing Plan

———_—_Oo—-—_—
THE FUTURE OF WHEAT |

ACREAGE |

As the war draws to a _ close there |
will be more and more discussion
about the acreage that Canada should

maintain in wheat, compared with the |

acreage similarly maintained in w heat |
by other wheat exporting countries. |
It might be wel, therefore, to examine
the situation in all these countries,

I find that since the year 1939, the |
start of this war, Canada has reduced |
Australia |

ly, and that Argentine has actually in-|
| creased her wheat acreage by 1%. In)

t | addition to this the United States has |
asked her wheat growers to expand |

their acreage this year. |

It seems then that Canada has reduc-
ed her wheat acreage by a larger per-|
centage than any other wheat export |
ing country, and this in spite of the}
fact that the farmers of our prairie |
depend more upon wheat as a means |
of making a living than do the farm-
other countries mentioned |
above, for the farmers in these other |
countries have other important pro- |
ducts besides wheat, which they can,
readily sell on world markets after the |

ers of the

war. |
It is to be hoped, therefore, that |
when the time comes for expanding |

wheat acerage that the considerable |
reduction Canada has made during |
these war years will not be lost sight
of.

The August issue of Time magazine

says that at the Anheuser-Busch at St. | yeast, having multiplied

Louis, in a vat the size of a small
room, molasses, ammonia, water, air
and yeast are being mixed. Every 12
hours this mixture produces a ton of
good rich meat — nearly as succulent
as a sirloin steak which takes two
years to raise on the hoof, much chea-|
per and much richer in proteins and
vitamins. Furthermore, says Time,
this new synthetic meat is so easy to
make that its inventors are looking
forward to modern miracle of the
loaves and fishes after the war among
the foodless peoples of the world.

The new food is actually a new kind
of yeast with added flavors which
make it almost indestinguishable from
natural foods. Since yeast is the rich-
est known source of B vitamins and
contains about 50% protein (twice as
much as meat) it is said to surpass
meat as sheer food. And pound for
pound of protein, yeast costs only 1-5
as much as meat.

Anheuser-Busch is now geared to
produce millions of pounds of this pro-
duct each year. The process— 125
lbs. of yeast is planted in a tvat con-
taining 7,000 gallons of water, a ton
and a half of molasses on whose sugar
the yeast feeds, and ammonia which
provides nitrogen which the yeast con-
verts into protein. The mixture is}
kept warm and stirred by a thousand |
cubic feet of air a minute to prevent |
the yeast fermenting the sugar.

12 hours the prodigiously producing
its original
weight 16 times, is a ton of food. In
its uncooked form it is a dry, light
brownish powder with a meaty, nutty
and celery flavor, depending on the
variety.

As yet the new food, actually a veg-
etable-meat, has not been named.
Time magazine says that the Army
and Lend-lease are already buying
millions of pounds. ‘Post-war possib-
ities are obviously enormous,” says
Time, “and the product’s possibilities

are obviously enthusiast s stop at no-|

thing; observing that a ten foot vat

can produce as much meat ina year as |
1,000 acres of pasture, they fancy that |

Back to Russian Thistle for
Feed

A few years ago in many dry parts
of Southern Alberta the only winter
feed available in sufficient amount to
winter over Southern Alberta’s cattle
| population was Russian thistles. In
many places large stacks of this com-

| fed throughout the winter. And it was
the Russian thistle that kept ranchers
and farmers in the cattle business.
During the last four years the prairies
and sloughs have yielded suificient
hay to build yearly feed reserves.

Honor Alberta Cabinet Minister

Hon. A. J. Hooke, recently-appointed provincial secretary, was honored
at a testimonial banquet in his Rocky Mountain House constituency
last week. To mark Mr. Hooke’s election to cabinet rank, those at

the banquet presented him with a cinnamon bear skin.

In the upper

picture, a group of Rocky Mountain House Board of Trade officials
give the minister a petition for submission te the Alberta legislative

post-war reconstruction committee.

From the left im the group are:

E. Ross, W. J. Kirby, Henry Stelfox, president Rocky Mountain Fish
and Game Association; A. L. Urch; Mayor W. J. T. Strong, Rocky
Mountain House, who is giving the petition to Mr. Hooke; W. H.
Tesky, president of the Board of Trade; Mr. Hooke, and Constable R.

McMullen, R.C.M.P.

In the lower photo, Constable McMullen is at the

left; in the centre, Mr. Stelfox, holding the bear rug, and Mr. Hooke.
Im the background is one of the rebuilt chimneys of old Fort Rocky
Mountain House, built by the North West Company, in the early

1800's,

The petition presented to Mr. Hooke calls for completion of

the David Thompson Highway, from Red Deer to the Saskatchewan

crossing of the Banff-Jasper Highway. Such a road link, the petition

says, would offer immense opportunities for outlet of consumer goods

which will be needed in construction of bungalow camps and hotels

ness of this situation.

The Russian thistle is not
family. It gets the name thistle be-
cause of the way in which the leaves
of mature terminate in sharp spiny
tips. In young plants the leaves, al-
though slender ana pointed, are fleshy
and readily eaten by cattle or sheep.
When mature the plant becomes very
course and is not relished. Analyses
that young
plants compare favorably with alfalfa.
As the plants mature the protein con-
tent drops off rapidly. The laxative
effect of thistle may be due to the
high potash content.

It is important to cut Russian thistle
before the plants become mature. Us:
ually the plants turn black in the
stack, but this does not impair the
value of the feed. Sometimes salt is
added as it is put into the stack.

Recent rains in the dry parts of Al-
berta will in all probability bring on a
tresh crop of Russian thistles. In
